Hey Gail, a thought crossed my mind. If you were given the task to write a new 52 Secret Six series, but were told to use characters that did not appear in the previous title, which ones would you want to use?
Hmm.
Well, I love the Penguin, he’d be way up there. Calendar Man, Toyman, maybe…uh. Queen Bee? Stompa? Black Manta…this is tough!
I like the Shadow Thief. I like Fatale.
Tough one!

Why Norway Is Great
At the RAPTUS Comics Festival In Bergen last week, they had a cosplay contest, it was all in Norwegian so I couldn’t understand it.
There was Deadpool, a ton of anime characters and game characters, all adorable.
Then they played WHAT DOES THE FOX SAY and the entire floor filled up with cosplayers dancing to that song.
I’m sorry.
That is fucking awesome.

I remembered something funny about this the other day.
For the next few pages, Ragdoll is surprising himself by uttering completely random phrases that seem filthy coming out of his mouth.
I put ZERO thought into the phrases, I just picked stuff at random so it wouldn’t feel forced or artificial. Just completely random, right?
Hilariously, my very good editor sent a note back asking, “What were you thinking? We can’t use half of these, they are way too filthy.”
He was totally right, but I think he thought I had done that deliberately. I hadn’t, the list was completely random.
That makes me laugh. Ragdoll is so dirty that even completely innocent random words sound like the filthiest porn ever when he says them.

I thought the subtext was that they should go shopping and maybe have some scones…

NEW YORK TIMES OUT AND GEEKS OUT PRESENT LGBT AND ALLIES IN COMICS
6:15 pm - 7:15 pm
Location: 1A14
This is going to be a great panel with Dan Parent, Daniel Ketchum, Greg Pak, Rich Bernatovech, and Marjorie Liu discussing LGBT characters & themes in comics, from Marvel & DC to independent works. I’m really looking forward to it.
Speaking of lesbian characters in independent comics, I am SUPER excited to announce that I’ve been hired by Drumfish Productions to cosplay Samanya, the main character in their series Neverminds. She is amazing and I cannot wait to portray her! I hope to see you guys at the panel!
Friday-
No set panels but really hoping to get some meetups and photo shoots in with cosplayers from The Movement, and Fearless Defenders. Please message me if you plan to cosplay any characters from those 2 books and you will be at NYCC. I want to nail down times that the most people are available so I can speak with photographers. If we’ve already spoken don’t worry, I will keep you updated on times & places to meet. I will have both Virtue & Misty Knight to change into on Friday. My goal is to do The Movement shoot no later than 10 am and the Fearless Defenders at noon. We have Virtue, Katharsis and Burden attending so far, and we would love to have all the members if possible. Duplicates are more than welcome. Please message me & come, I don’t care if we have 10 of the same character. We want to show Gail how much we love the book, and have fun cosplaying our favorite characters. That is all that matters.
Same thing goes with Fearless Defenders. We want as many gorgeous ladies as possible. Message me if you cosplay ANY CHARACTER from the book, and you want to join up on Friday at NYCC.
After those shoots I will be switching into Fire to do Fire & Ice with my bff Deanna

GEEKS OF COLOR ASSEMBLE! : MINORITIES IN FANDOM
Location: 1A17
This panel has a wonderfully diverse group of speakers that will be discussing all kinds of topics related to our individual experiences in fandom as well as the impact we can have presently and in the future. I am really looking forward to being a speaker and I hope you guys can make it! If you plan to attend, please join the event page here.
All day Saturday I will be cosplaying with my friend Shar of Cerberus Productions. She’ll be the Vision and I will be Scarlet Witch. I’m so excited to cosplay with her, we haven’t hung out in ages & this will be our first planned team costume.
Sunday
On Sunday I will be working with Drumfish Productions to promote their books in Artist Alley. I will be cosplaying as Samanya. You can find us at Artist Alley tables N12-N13. Come say hi & check out the books!
***I will try to fit Namor in there somewhere. No promises though. Lol
Good lord. As if I didn’t worship this woman enough already.
MISS JAY JUSTICE YOU ARE WHY COMICS ARE WORTH THE EFFORT!
Please read this and support this amazing woman!
Why aren't creator credits on the covers of any of the Villain Month books? Aren't they usually on most books?
I don’t honestly know. But I strongly suspect it is because the lenticular covers had to be drawn and finished far in advance, in which case the creative teams might still be being decided.
